Having thus explained the nature of the invention, and describedanoperative manner of constructing and using the same, although withoutattempting to set forth all of the forms in which it may be made, or allof the forms of its use, the following is claimed 1. An extensionattachment for pistols comprising a member provided with a cylindricalbore having a chamber-like enlargement at one end, a barrel in saidbore, a split pistol-engaging sleeve within said enlargement, saidsleeve having a tapered portion, means for engaging said taperedportion, and means for drawing said tapered portion into engagement withsaid engaging means for contracting said split sleeve.

2. An extension attachment for pistols comprising a member provided witha cylindrical bore having a chamber-like enlargement at one end, abarrel in said bore, a split pistol-engaging sleeve within saidenlargement connected to said barrel, said sleeve having a taperedportion, means for engaging said tapered portion, and means for engaging said barrel for drawing said tapered portion into engagement withsaid engaging means.
